National player recruiting rankings are not always what they are cracked up to be, but serve a purpose in helping get an overall idea on how different talents across the country stack up against one another.

Hawkins (Los Angeles) already had one of the best one-two punches in the nation on the outside with Class of 2017 five-star Joseph Lewis and Class of 2018 five-star Jalen Hall, but arguably their grouping went into the stratosphere with the addition of 2018 receiver Eric Fuller Jr, a four-star currently ranked No. 3 in the country (247Sports).

Fuller wowed California opposition during the 2015 season, playing in all three phases of the game. On defense he came up with 39 tackles (21 solo), a fumble recovery, a forced fumble, five passes defensedand six interceptions at Paramount (Calif.). On offense, he had eight carries for 131 yards (16.4 yards per carry) and hauled in 21 passes for 369 yards, scoring eight touchdowns.

When teams would kick Fuller's way, he had 195 kick return yards off eight attempts and further flashed his playmaking abilities as a punt returner, taking three punts back for 95 yards with one coming from 69 yards out.



In the offseason, Fuller transferred from Paramount to Hawkins, setting up a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators to try to stop.
